KBOO Radio Interview: Sima Familant on Breathing Room

On Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2025, at 11.30 a.m. Joseph Gallivan interviews curator Sima Familant about Breathing Room, a show on now at the Lobby Gallery in Southeast Portland. Sima talks about the importance of white space or negative space in the paintings and sculptures she has chosen for this show, which include castings of a naked man, an MS Paint-style mouse drawing writ large, and a 3D-printed moon bowl. Familant also talks about the urge to escape the blitz of images and sounds that make up modern life and find stillness in these works of art.
